Hello,

Well, I have to resort to seeking some assistance.

I have utilised a left hand YUI menu (with submenus) on a site - using
markup - which displays and works fine as I have configured it under Firefox
2 (on Linux), but it does not behave the same way in IE7 (on WinXP, running
in VMWare).

I have reverted back to using the default menu.css provided by YUI - instead
of my customised version of it, but makes no difference.

1.) When I mouse-over the items the submenus only appear if the pointer is
directly over the text or the arrow image, otherwise the menu item doesn't
even highlight. (The 'a' tag's area is not extending beyond the text it's
surrounding).
HOWEVER, if I use 'fixedcenter:true, visible:true' instead
of 'position:"static"' everything works fine in both browsers, but point 2.
(below) still remains.

2.) When the submenus do show up, they display behind other elements (divs) to
the right of the menu.
